Do they correct every little thing you say?
Post Body

I’m the dx one and my husband says I do this so wondering if it’s an adhd thing. But he says I’m constantly correcting him, and in front of other people especially, when he says things that are slightly wrong and I correct him he says I am always doing that and “if he said the sky was blue I would say no it isn’t”.

Example: over the summer we were going to a water park which the previous year, the water was very cold. So he told the kids the water is going to be cold, and I said. “Well actually it’s warmer outside so the water might not be cold” Because I didn’t want the kids to be scared of the cold water (he also feels I correct him in front of the kids a lot) Or, If he says something took an hour but it really took 45 minutes or whatever I’ll say no it was 45 minutes, because he exaggerates alot, and he says I’m splitting hairs.

I’m having trouble thinking of other examples but he feels I say either correct everything or say the opposite of what he said just for the hell of it and I don’t realize I’m doing that or think I’m doing anything wrong. He uses the phrase “I’m splitting hairs” all the time.

You're right, and no he gets very upset although he has put up with a lot. I am working on changing the bad habits and being more cognizant of his feelings

This is it! Devils advocate, he doesn't get why I do it so much and I don't get what I am doing wrong in the moment
